Urban Needs—Rural Government
Urbanization Forum continues in October

The next session of Washington County’s Urbanization Forum will be held on Thursday, October 9. The time and location are still being worked out.

The Forum brings together many of the stakeholders in urbanized and unincorporated county to try to answer the questions: What is the best way to accommodate and plan for the tremendous growth anticipated for Washington County? And what are the appropriate roles for cities, service districts and the county government in delivering services to the residents of urban, unincorporated Washington County?

The Forum has a community bulletin board on their website at urbanizationforum.com. Anyone who wants to learn more or discuss the issues is invited to participate.

Terra Linda parent Heather Oliver says, “Mr. Huelskamp is a can-do fellow who knows how to build community spirit. This was a great beginning to a new school year.”
